Land Of Confusion: The Wild Ride of the 2012 IRNA Presidential Election

Catch Up In the Few Days (TLIAD in the Catherverse con't)
  • Slacking like this, you wouldn't last a day on my sidelines, Chipperback.

    It's called that real life thing, Coach. You know how it goes. I woulda gotta back sooner.


    Oh Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda! It's a mess out here...Think you could send me a free agent. I need somebody special if I'm gonna make a push to the SuperTournament

    How about, Carmelo Anthony?

    That would help, Chipperback. Thank you.

    How's the wife?

    When I get to see her, I'll ask her. Even since the damn election. She doesn't get a moments peace and neither do I. I'm in the Garden coaching, surrounded by ballboys and team managers, who are armed to the teeth.

    Well, she didn't ask to be President, coach.

    I'm asking somebody to just PICK A PRESIDENT! PICK ONE...Preferably, Good Ol' Joe. Not that pithy Brown, or Bobby Nardelli....and sure as hell not that....goddang what's his name..

    That Netan-Hee-Haw! JUST NO! NO! NO! NO!

    Not liking Bibi?

    Uh...No....I'm not liking much of what I'm seeing...especially what those Confederates are doing up North? I hear they built a navy base up in Maine. Those people really done lost their mind. That President up there threatening people.

    What does the Acting President say?

    My Hills? She's a rock, Chipper. She's holding up like Lew Alcindor. A rock in the middle. Silent, steady, makes the plays. I just hope the plays wont have to be run in a war.

    You know, somebody else told me the same thing out on the Plains.

    I hope you listened to them. Between here and that mess in Europe, and Latin America, things are getting a little hairy. I have a buddy. Gregg. He's an admiral in the Navy, and nothing scares him, except reporters. But, he's damn scared right now.














     
    The History of the LSR
  • What about the Lone Star Republic of Texas would you like to know?

    Louisiana threw in with Texas to avoid a takeover by the CSA. Huey Long and Sam Rayburn were both against joining the CSA. Long saw a CSA under someone like Strom Thurmond as prone to what broke the USA apart. Rayburn saw ambitions for Texas because of their oil wealth, land and potential industrialization.

    By 1948, it looked like there would be a war that would make the German Civil War in Europe look like a picnic. The CSA was determined to bring Louisana and Texas to heel.

    On January 1, 1948 Huey Long and Sam Rayburn joined forces. With the signing of the Shreveport Accords, the Lone Star Republic was born. Louisiana became a part of Texas, yet in exchange Louisiana is given a large amount of devolution within the system of Texas and is officially recognized as a "distinct society". The addition of Louisiana did a great deal to moderate Texas on a number of issues in the coming years, from racial policy, economic welfare and the relation to labor and capital. LSR Texas is more liberal to left-leaning as the Texas we know OTL, even as the nation is still just as prideful for being "Lone Star" and independent as the OTL, perhaps even more so.

    In the 1950s Texas began to hit stride technologically. Rayburn and he government of oilmen, businessmen and technocrats, with the help of emigre who fled Nazi facism (such as Werner Van Braun, "Der Vater" if the North American Space Agency), and Russian Communism (a group of Soviet Russian nuclear scientist defected to Texas and in turn developed the Texas nuclear deterrent.)

    After 4 terms as President, Rayburn retired in Lyndon Baines Johnson, a Senator won the Texas Democratic Party nomination for President, and then defeated Lone Star Party candidate John Connolly to Parish Radical Liberal Candidate John McKeithen for the Presidency of Texas.

    The LBJ years were the next evolution for the LSR. A fledging firm called Texas Instruments created a computer in 1964 that was world's fastest. Texas Lear Corporation led the way and building a domestic aviation capacity. Another Lone Star with big dream, Carroll Shelby and a group of engineers formed Shelby Alamo Motors. LBJ was also agressive and bringing in foreign investment. North American Aviation began building planes as Texas as did Lockheed (who joined in a partnership with Texas Lear that formed the successful L-1011 LoneStar passenger airliner).

    Since independence Texas has prided itself and defending itself. Every organ of Texas Law Enforcement, from county sheriffs to the legendary Texas Rangers in one way or another is a part of the Lone Star Republic's military. That grew in statures in 1950s as Texas stood shoulder to shoulder with the GPUR during the Confederate Invasion of 1957, with touched off the 1957-1960 Refugee War (as it called among Texans).

    Texas forces performed with distinction during the 1963-1966 "Trade War" Texas air, naval and ground forces stood against Confederate aggression in Latin America and provided reinforcement to the California-Australia-Japanese allied effort against Communist China in Asia.

    By 1966, Texas was beginning to be seen as a first run military power, and by 1968 Texas was full fledged member of the nuclear club.

    The 1970s began to see diversified growth for Texas. Dallas and Houston became centers for oil, cattle, commodities, and banking. The Lone Star state was booming. But LBJ was ailing and choose not to run in 1974 election after three terms.

    1974 was a rough year. Civil unrest in the middle east and Latin America led uncertainity in Europe and the Americas. Incoming Texas President Dolph Briscoe ran into a boom that went bust in 1975. Briscoe, instituted a group of austerity measures and a more isolationist foreign policy.

    But that ran contra to the what some saw as the future of Texas. LBJ saw Texas as a nation that would be regionally strong, worldly respect by more neutral and keeping to itself.

    But an ambitious former Texas Air Ranger had a gleam and a dream. He saw New Orleans, Dallas and Houston as world class cities. He saw Texas wielding world influence especially in the Middle East were he had cultivate more than 20 years relationships as a military man and a businessman.

    He had strong allies in business, entertainment, art. Not bad for a kid who was born a New Englander blue blood, who family came to Texas seeking oil fortune.

    Throughout 1976, he built his team, mixed with Austin-savvy insiders and the some of brightest minds born of go-go New Texas of the 1970s.

    In 1978, the beleaguered Lone Star Conservatives had a champion. He boldly set a course.


    "Our Lone Star shouldn't fade into the night sky, just dimly there. It should beam out strongly like a thousand points of light, all pointing to the direction of our proud land. This is the time for a new world order of peace and prosperity here in North America and shining throughout the world. It is now time for Texas to step to forefront. It is time." -- George Herbert Walker Bush, Lone Star Conservative Party Convention acceptance speech 1978.

    Bush teamed with Vice Presidential candidate Edwin Edwards won 60% of the vote in a landslide victory, and the confidence of George Herbert Walker Bush saw investors who were fleeing Texas racing to bring capital back.

    Texas began its march from regional power to being on short list of most powerful nations on earth in a generation. Industrially, Economically, Military, Diplomatically, Culturally. Texas when from Cattlemen to Culture. From Hicks with power, to Sophisticates With Muscle.

    Bush moved quickly to build a regional bloc of interests. Bush used the 1980-1982 Border Conflict to shore up relations with the Great Plains. At the same time, Bush used shrewd diplomacy and policy to bring a once antagonistic Mexico into what become a power relationship in Central America. The Tex-Mex Economic Bloc.

    Bush called his markers in the Middle East in 1981, and earned oil-rich, savvy Texas a seat in the one of most powerful clubs on Earth, Texas became a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)

    Was it any doubt Bush would re-elected in 1982. Only Margaret Thatcher got reelected in a bigger rout.

    George Herbert Walker Bush's second term however was plagued by two scandals. One involved the nation's financial instutions in 1984. A son of the President, Neil was involved.

    And there was a number of government officials, including education secretary Bill Clements, involved a wide-spread football-game fixing scandal the involved teams in the Texas Football Association and Texas College Football.

    The twin scandals hurt the Bush Government, and made the 1986 elections a much tighter affair the Texas Democrats ran corruption-buster Charles Roemer, a former TDI agent who was Lousiana's state Governor. two new parties formed. The Independents for Godly Government a religious "back to basic party" put up Phil Gramm, and the the Rally For The Lone Star Republic, a concertation of leftist parties led by the former Parish Radical Liberals ran national railroad commissioner Jim Hightower as their standard bearer.

    It was a tighter race, especially between Bush and the aggressive Roemer. Bush won 45% of the vote to carry the election and win a third term, but the President had already decided he wouldn't be a Sam Rayburn. He'd leave the office after 1990.

    But the President already was grooming people for future power. His sons Jeb, and George W. were already set up in business. Jeb had also built up his chops in educational policy as comptroller for the Houston Public Schools. George W. was a part of the television committee for the Texas Football Association, learning under the wing of Lamar Hunt, considered one of the major forces in the growth of the continent's most lucrative sports entertainment in the post-Trade War period.

    And he had develop a resource in a man who play a key role in fueling the Texas economic engine as a driving force behind a lot of development, a budding youngish financier named Sherwood Blount, who was grooming his own group of acolytes throughout his businesses, including buying the Dallas Cowboys in 1986 and rebuilding a proud team that had hit hard times. He also cultivated a small group of star players whom he would help turn into the titans of Texas business, finance, and society 20 years later...and another who would become a leader in a place of great interest to Austin.

    After 1990, the opposition toppled old order in Austin, Charles "Buddy" Roemer became the first from Louisiana to be the President of the LSR, with Lloyd Bentsen as his running mate. The economic climate of Texas forced Roemer to govern in a centrist manor. Even with the electoral victory within Sam Houston House, the Texas National Legislature and the National Senate, was still under Lone Star Conservative control. Still the people liked Roemer and the business crowd could tolerate him.. He stayed two terms, but amid scandal within the House Bush built, came an electorate looking to the hard right...and the election of Clayton Williams as President under the IGG banner in 1998

    Williams' four years were chaotic. Texas nearly find itself in a war with the GPUR over water rights. He threatened to bomb the IRNA. And he insulted women across the nation with his famous address to Dorothy Willis, "Look Dorothy, if rape is inevitable...sit back down an enjoy it."

    Even with an economy and industry humming, Williams was a yokel embarrassment to a country trying to put a sophisticated face to the world. He was thrown out by the voters in 2002, as the eyes of Texas turned left to Mark White, a Baylor-educated reformer who defeated Houston's national senator James Baker, who openly ran against Bush years calling them, "an plastic era for Texas"

    The "Baker Betrayal," as it was called, led to a split with the mainstream Conservatives in Texas. And it led to a fight for the party that got George H.W. Bush off the rocking chair and putting fishing, flying and skydiving on hold, to return to bare-knuckles politics...and to unleash the person he called, "Smartest person I ever employed in my three terms as President."

    The 2006 battle for the conservative nomination saw the Bush and Baker forces meet a third force, led by a former operative for the IGG named Karl Rove. It was Rove who worked into the Bush camp and floated the idea of one of the Bush sons running for office of President. That is something the elder Bush didn't want. He knew his sons weren't groomed for leadership in politics, but groomed to be power behind politics. Instead President Bush wanted a different person...The former President wanted his top intelligence aid and former TISA director Condoleezza Rice-Hill to get the nod. The woman was Confederate-born. Her father, a theologian and her mother a mathematician who received a classical education in the underground secret schools of the Carolinas. They fled the CSA when Condi was a toddler.

    The Rice University cell of the Underground Railroad got word of a brilliant mathematical mind in the Carolinas. They didn't get the memo that mind was in a black, female body. Until they had gotten to Houston.

    Young Condoleezza grew up Texan, right down being a cheerleader in high school along with being a basketball, golf, and track champion. She even did her year in the Texas National Military, where she found her calling. She stayed in the Reserves through her college years at Rice as a military intelligence officer and a reserve combat pilot. When graduated from Rice she had earned an officers rank and entered into the regular services as an intelligence analyst.

    In the next 15 years, Rice would turn heads in her job...and catch the eye of two rather important men.

    The first was in 1980. She was a 26-year-old, but acted older and wiser Texas Intelligence operative. He was the first MVP of the Super Bowl, with a financial career gaining speed as his football career was winding down.

    In 1981, Rice married Dallas financier and Cowboys halfback Calvin Hill. Four years later, they'd have their son Grant...now a veteran receiver for the Cowboys and a former Super Bowl MVP in his own right.

    The second was President George Hebert Walker Bush who persuaded her to join his team in Austin in 1985 as an intelligence liaison. Her intelligence and insight made her a rising star, and more than a few political mavens in the Lone Star Conservatives began seeing the potential in this dynamo.

    When President Bush left office, Rice left the military to teach in the foreign policy studies institute at Rice University. In 1994, another President, Buddy Roemer, tapped her for the job of rebuilding Texas's foreign intelligence establishment as director of the Texas International Security Agency. In less than three years, an underfunded, undermanned outfit, became one of the best intelligence operations in the world, rivaling the British, the Californians, the Soviet Russians, and the New Englanders.

    Her disagreements with President Clayton Williams led to her dismissal in 2000, but she landed on her feet as CEO for Perot Systems, one of the world's leading private intelligence and security firms. The job also developed an political partnership with H. Ross Perot. (oh by the way, Perot was appointed head of TISA in 2010.)

    In 2006, her name was floated for the nomination. The pro-Baker forces were against it. A Black woman as President of Texas??? Rove was against it for a different reason. He was looking for someone who could be a "face man" for a team behind the throne. The striking, smart, Rice-educated woman Bush leaned on in his final term was groomed for much more than being a face man.

    White won reelection in 2006, but resigned due to health reasons in 2008. Vice President Jim Turner took over, but failed in his attempt to win the Texas Democratic nomination his own right for the 2010 elections, in favor of Louisianan John Breaux running with Houston Senator Ron Kirk.

    The IGG ran John Cornyn, and Baker factions with in the Lone Star Conservatives wanted Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

    But the Next Generation Bush team was ready. Moneymen like Michael Dell, Sherwood Blount, and Blount lieutenants like Eric Dickerson, Craig James and Lance McInhenny poured Texas Dollars into Condi Rice-Hill

    She reached long-disaffected black voters who felt ignored in general by the process. She wowed the Dorothy Willis vote with her strength wrapped in feminine Texas charm. She was younger, smarter and better than her opponent in the party primary...and proved her metal outpointing all her general election opponents on the trail and in debates.

    On election day, Condi put together an incredible win, 53% of Texas voters pulled the lever for Condoleezza Rice-Hill and Vice President Piyush "Bobby Ray" Jindal.



    FAQ I see coming -- How bad was Hurricane Katrina?

    The Bad News: Katrina hit harder ITTL. The recorded strength was 33% stronger than OTL Hurricane Katrina than IOTL.

    The Good News: The Lone Star Republic was READY.

    New Orleans is protected by a wall co-developed by engineers in the LSR and the Netherlands, and it was funded by an initiative started by Senator John McKeithen in 1969. The Lone Star Coastal Protection Act allocated continued funding to protect the Gulf Coast from the threat of Hurricanes.

    It led to the creation of what is known as McKeithen's Moat. A system of barriers, levies and runoff points that stretch from New Orleans to Corpus Christi. The idea behind his a combination of Dutch-designed seawalls, engineered levys and artificial stream to prevent as much flooding as possible.

    In Katrina, the system worked against the strongest Hurricane ever recorded, that plus immediate response before and after put the death tool at 25% of OTL Hurricane Katrina and damage was reduced to 20% of OTL Hurricane Katrina. There is was still a lot of clean up to be done, but for the most part New Orleans was recovering strongly within 6 months.

    The same can't be said for the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, which still has areas in disarray, 7 years later.

    "I don't have to. Some people in your party already have, because you are entertaining us."

    "I've give you what you want, but here's what I want. Back off of John Lehman."

    "Lehman isn't a diplomat, and he's circumvented all transparency. He's as bad as that guy in New England. Joe, we have the documents. We have proof."

    "What you have is hearsay, Mr. Mayor. Do you really want to be linked to Atlanta?"

    "You really want to make that threat? This isn't the GPUR."

    "Do you want to risk billion of dollars in economic aid and impact to Ohio? Listen, both of us are posturing, but the fact is we need each other, and the country needs normalcy, especially given what we are seeing in Alaska and Maine."

    "We have already said we oppose overt opposition, not that it matters."

    "Sherrard, they are going to move a carrier battle group to Maine in one month. The CSA will have a piece of the high ground."

    "All the more reason to push them to a peace table, not a push to war."

    "We aren't going to get there if we don't continue support for the opposition, and we are surely in a mess if Bibi gets in and the Giuliani crowd calls for "detente" on Atlanta's terms."

    "Sherrard look. Kucinich goes for Labor. I'll back him. The Union calls the tune on a Treasury selection. I'll give you HUD and HHS. In exchange for a public statement backing Lehman. A public statement against Maine. Worker's Union support for the next defense appropriation."

    "I'll back your people. But you have to back us when we call for it."

    "A junior partnership? Really, Mr. Biden."

    "Junior my Scranton ass! You are getting as close to a coalition arrangement that any IRNA executive has had to deal with. I take a political hit with this, too."

    "But I will see to it, that a good chunk of that defense appropriation finds its way to Cleveland, Ohio...including a couple of national highway projects you've be bitching about? Lets just say, I'll grease a lot of wheels, anything for the mayor of the nation's 2nd largest city and perhaps its most important industrial one."

    "With that, the CD would have no opposition to your reelection, Your Honor."

    "Joe....Oh should I say Mr. President. I have to things to sell. But know that my party will be watching you, and we will expect a parity and an open door to the White House."

    "That wouldn't be unfair, within reason."

    WED MAR 1 2017 -- By the vote of this House of Representatives, Joseph Biden of Pennsylvania is the President of the Industrial Republic of North America in full standing


    "My fellow Americans, this has been a difficult period for our country. But the way in which we have handled this time shows the strength of the democratic system of government. It shows the strength of free peoples, and I am confident that Senator Netanyahu, Mayor Brown and Mr. Nardelli would agree.

    We know look ahead to this next term, myself along with my Vice President Hillary Rodham Riley, who performed well as the acting President, and whom I am blessed to have as a partner in the cause of moving this great nation forward.

    The times ahead may be perilous. We have seen the spectre of the Confederate Orlando Pact Axis grow within our free North American House. We stand with the true Free State of Alaska in resistance at Point Barrow. We stand with the opposition to the growing menace of Atlanta in Maine.

    We stand resolute alongside our European friends in the Balkans. We will continue to back the forces of freedom and peace wherever they are threatened.

    And we will continue to stand for a better future for all Americans here at home in a factories and our fields.

    And in this year of 2017, we shall reclaim our rightful name and continue our return to the family of free nations on our continent and in our world."

    --- The inaugural address of Joe Biden to the nation on Friday March 3, 2017...

    "You have a situation where you have this operative coming into our country, with their faces masked...Cuban trained guys with names like D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty – these types of guys – they come from Havana, they come up here, forment chaos and sell their arms and then go home and leave rubble behind.

    And that's something that real Maine people have to deal with.

    Tonight the response of our National Police, in concert with our friends, is resounding. Antisocial morals will not be tolerated in Maine."

    "You are watching live pictures from antisocial riots in Portland, Maine."

    "The night after the riots, students at the University of Maine engaged in peaceful protest, included in the protest a growing number of white students here at the nation's flagship university. But what you are seeing here at UMaine is anonmaly in this part of the nation. Much of Maine's midlands and northern areas are staunchly supporting their President."

  • A cafe in Provincetown, UCNE — 12:30pm Tuesday October 17, 2017

    The man at the table in this cafe looked like any tourist along Commercial Street. Young looking in a Red Sox hoodie. He was fidgeting, nervous, tense.

    He looked up when he saw the diminutive woman enter the room. She adorn in a rust-brown-cream sweater that had a slight crop and a skirt that played off the autumn colors well with boots.

    She smiled as people noticed her. “You were excellent last night,” one called out.

    “Thank you,” she said.

    She came up to the lone man at the table and said, “What would you suggest a lady to get to drink here?”

    “I’d suggest the pumpkin spice milkshake.”

    Her soft voice turned harsher, “Come with me.”

    She came through the back way toward a narrow alley. A man and a woman were waiting.”

    “This is the man I’ve been in communication with,” She said.

    “Who are you?” said the man, an intense look on his face as he mentality noted his sidearm.

    The man, was visibly nervous. “My name is Shayne Keller....I was with the Maine National Police. I was converted to duty in the New Police...before they fully became the CSS.

    The diminutive woman chime in, “He’s cool and he comes recommended from key people.”

    The blindfolded him as they put him in the car.

    “What the hell?”

    “Security” the diminutive woman said. “Sorry about that.”

    The drove slowly out of the alley to theside street and turned onto Commercial Street. The car slowly toed it’s way through the tourist throng. The women look around at the colors of the town. The swirling fall colors amid the magnolia and rainbows. The huge flags of the UCNE Navy also present.

    They had clear road as the turned down into the mid-Cape where the quaintness and jovial spirit gave way to the spear of a nation.

    The bustle of the naval command. The slate gray seriousness of other side of Provincetown.

    The drove past the barracks toward a storage depot. In the distance she saw the plants and research facilities.

    The places where the “Cape Cod Leviathan” was born.

    This was were the epic ships were launched. The destroyers were forged, the the birthplace of “Poseidon’s Triad”

    They turned into the storage debit making their way to the far fringe, and to garage.

    Inside were three men in a van.

    The took off the blindfold when they let him out of the car.

    “Brothuh, you made it,” The man said. I’m sorry about the blindfold.

    “It’s okay,” Shayne said.

    The led man spoke. “For the purposes of this meeting my name is Copernicus. My colleague is Apollo, my other colleague is Hippolyte.”

    And I’m sure you might know who this lady is...

    He looked. He did. He remembered.

    “Now I remember,” he said. “You were on that TV show when I was 14...”

    They blindfolded the man again and drove back through a different route toward Provincetown. The made a meeting with a second vehicle. A small Bouchard subcompact.

    “How was it?” driver asked. “They are enroute according to the men we saw.”

    The driver looked at his smart watch. “Confirmed,” he said. The cargo is enroute.

    She blushed. “This is for home.”

    Her smile turned into an icy, worried frown. “This is for my dad.”

    The driver looked up. “What happened to him.”

    “I don’t know,” she said nervously. “I heard those... Cissies, they say have him.”

    The man and the driver looked at her. “We’ll put the word out. If he’s alive we’ll get him out alive.”

    “Thank you,” she said.

    “No,” the man said. “Thank you for not forgetting about us.”

    “Of course not,” she said. “How can Anna Banana forget about home?”

  • UCNE Defence Academy -- Cambridge, Massachusetts Region UCNE -- 0800 hours Monday Friday August 7, 1981

    "MOVE YOUR LANDLUBBIN' CANDY ASSES PLEBIES...ANY SQUAD WHO CAN'T FIND THEIR QUARTERS IN TWO MINUTES MEANS FRIDAY PT FOR THE SQUAD...MOOOOOOOOVE!"

    Young men and women scurry through the concrete bunker that make up their barracks at the Commonwealth Defence Academy.

    One shy, bespectacled young man was among them. Running for his life to find his quarters.

    He was of averaging height, navigating his way through the mosh pit.

    "90 SECONDS PLEBES!"

    He bounded up the stairs as he raced around and through his new classmates.

    At one point he had to body check his way through a door to reach the hallway where his quarters would be.

    Out the corner of his eye. He noticed others trying to push through down the stairway, including one other one.

    He could only see for the instant, that he was smaller than the rest...seemingly much smaller.

    "I'd hate to be in that guy's squad...I hate to be that guy. He's gonna get bounced around and make his squad run."

    "60 SECONDS............... 30 SECONDS............. 10....9..8...."

    He made it to his barracks with seconds to spare.....But whomever his roommate would be...didn't

    7....6.....5......4.......3......2...1.....TIME!!!!!! SQUAD LEADERS CHECK FOR DESERTERS!

    The upperclassmen, all spit and polished reported in...You could hear the reports across the barracks.

    The upperclassmen squadron leader strolled up....just as the Plebie did.

    The young man, looked down....It was a little guy from the stairwell..

    The smaller man didn't look scared. He didn't look shy....He looked cocky.

    He looked at the upperclassman. Looked him in the eye.

    "Who said you could look my in the eye, Plebie"

    "Sir, I look everyone in the eye, sir!"

    "Look down, Plebie, you were late to your barracks."

    "Sir, I'm aware of that. sir!"

    "You just let down your whole barracks, now they have to do more PT."

    "SIR, I realize that sir!"

    Another upperclassman came up "Oh, this little pissant!"

    "Supershimp! I know you, kid..."

    "You know this little plebie puke"

    "Oh yeah....He's think he's gonna be a football star."

    "Listen little Plebe, I'm going to enjoy running you this afternoon along with the squad who don't like you...I think we should the timed mile..."

    "Yeah, good idea...Plebie, those legs are too short to run a mile in 6 minutes."

    "Sir, you are right, that why I can do a mile in under 5, SIR!"

    "Oooooh," the upperclassman said. "Big talker, you think you can take my mile time down."

    The little man looked hard at the upperclassman squad leader.

    "Sir, I'll take down your mile time, the same way I'll take your starting position, SIR!"

    "ATTEN' HUT! MASTER SQUAD ON DECK!"

    The master squad leader marched up. "What going here, a confab on my barracks."

    "SIR, just a plebie with an attitude, SIR! He was late to the barrack assignment and cost his platoon a piece of their orientation Friday SIR!"

    The Master Squad Leader down at the guy. "Oh, this one. I heard of you, little dippy. Defiant one."

    "Look son, you don't look the part," he said. "You don't muster to be a defender of my Commonwealth! A little body with a big mouth. What make you think you fit the part of a fighting man on MY COMMONWEALTH?"

    "SIR, IT'S NOT ABOUT LOOKING THE PART, ITS ABOUT BEING THE PART AND DOING THE WORK, SIR!"

    By this time the entire section was looking in.

    "SQUAD 2-5 WEST GET IN YOUR PT SKIVS, YOU GOT SOME HARD PT, THANKS TO THE LITTLE ADMIRAL!!!!"

    "Awwwwwwwwwwwww!"

    The ran that day. And they ran. And they ran. 10 kilometers in all.

    They were berated from a truck at each mile. Welcome to the beginning of one of the most difficult and demanding educations in the world. The education of a military academy in Free North America.

    Rebels go out to sea, but they don't come back
    Sinking Confederates for Captain Jack!

    From Boston to Stamford, we stand up high
    Commonwealth Defence means Confederates die!


    Whiskey and Chowder do not mix!
    Atlanta got burned by a Salem witch!

    All minutemen live to see the day
    When the Confederate States all fade away!

    They trundled away exhausted...and behind. As their classmate began orientation. Orientation this squad had to get in a crash course. Along with a number of team-building exercises, processing and scrambling through that first day.

    It wasn't until 10 minutes before "lights out" that they even met formally.

    The young man stood about 6 feet maybe. The roomie was well south of that, but his attitude and demeanor stood taller.

    "You could be trouble, man," the young man said.

    "Oh, how so?"

    "Poppin' off to the squad leaders like that?"

    "I called him, 'SIR'?"

    "That's the thing about little guys I guess."

    "Well, when you are the little guy, you gotta play big..And I will."

    "Play what?"

    "Football. I've been here for a week during the academy tryouts."

    "What position? Kicker?"

    "I can kick. I did in high school...But I'm a quarterback."

    "Can you see over the line?"

    "I'll find my targets...Just like I will in the air."

    "Damn, you are a cocky little fuck."

    "I didn't deny it."

    "Roomie...I'm Bob...Bob Gregg."

    "Good to meet ya, Bob. My name is Doug.... Doug Flutie.."

    WEEI GlobeCourant Newstime 10am.

    Currently weather drizzly at a balmy 75 degrees here in Boston....

    The news at this hour sponsored by your Metropolitan Bouchard Dealers and the new line of Bouchard Rhiannon hybrids and the all-new Rhiannon Electra plug-in!

    Local headlines at the hour, the entire Commonwealth is suffering from WORLD SERIES FEVER as we continue to countdown towards game 1 of the World Series Thursday night at Fenway Park between your Red Sox and the Korean Champion Pyongyang Pilots. WEEI will have full coverage of the World Series, starting with Red Sox warm up at 4:00pm leading all the way to our coverage of the first game. For the third time in four years it'll Boston vs. Pyongyang.

    The opening starters have been confirmed. The Red Sox will open with their ace Jimmy Darvish coming off another 20-win season...while the Pilots will counter with Steve Harvey, a crafty hurler who set a KBO record for strikeouts this season.

    In world news, investigators in Switzerland are looking at an attempt on the life of group of diplomats Geneva overnight as they were leaving a negotiation session. The delegation included the GPUR's Foreign Affairs undersecretary for Europe, the Federal German Ambassador to the GPUR and Commonwealth lead envoy for Europe Robert Kennedy III

    The were target of what Swiss police called a "gas/chemical attack". The passenger in the car they were riding in, where all treated and released from a Geneva hospital. But investigators confirmed that the gas attack was a tear-gas based agent, but the deliver mechanism malfunctioned, preventing would could have been a much worse situation.


    Sources close to the Home Office say that the Prime Minister is in consultation with the NEI and Interpol on possible leads.

    He was balding, and bespectacled in his 50s, with an intense gaze. A gaze that seems to come out of the shadows.

    He's a long way from the unsure young man in the academy.

    His name is Intelligence General Dr. Robert Clark Gregg. He rarely uses his academic title. He's mostly known as TAHITI or formally, Director of Special Operations/NEI-6

    He cut his military teeth in the Minuteman Corps. Special forces unit of Commonwealth Naval Infantry. A badass who could hit beaches, blow up bridges and cause problems.
    Something he did a great deal, mainly in Southern Africa, fighting Confederate-backed pirates and Afrikaner neo-Nazis. It in those struggles in jungles were he sought to learn more about what would become his specialty -- counter-insurgency containment and elimination.

    He would study at Harvard, earning his doctorate in political systems theory and analysis , and earning his commission into the NEI in 1996 as a Major in the Minuteman Corps.

    He developed a reputation as a studied, measured, and effective field operative. In 1999, he was tapped by HOODIE to be the leader of a special project designed to train younger prospectives and recruits from the Forces to transition to NEI operations while also maintaining service in the regular Forces It's the template the command structure largely in place today.

    The design was to take and train a group of field agents and make them into a specialized corps for specialized intelligence missions around the world. The first of these raised are still discussed with hate and fear in the offices of the Laurie Pritchett Center in Atlanta.

    They were known as "Gregg's Gnats", and anywhere the CSS was trying to destabilize, the Gnats flew around and bit them. Their example set up the structure that defines much of the what is considered pound-for-pound the world's best intelligence organization today.

    General Gregg's major project now is Maine. Since the rise of the LePage government and their growing friendship with the Orlando Pact, Gregg has been working to solidify the growing Dirigo Liberation Front that is mounting guerrilla campaign against what is now considered a Confederate sphere of influence.

    "General," HOODIE said, as his noticed Gregg enter the room. "Have you had a chance to poor over this data we received from the drop in Provincetown last week?"

    "I did," Dr. Gregg said. "It confirmed my fears, sir. They are looking at making Maine a nuclear base."

    HOODIE's familiar monotone stayed even. "They already have a nuclear carrier there. Their newest and best, and plan attack and boomer subs I'm sure. They want to send a message."

    "Well sir, I like to send them one. If they introduce WMDs into the environment, they have to be taken out."

    "I agree," HOODIE said. "But we can't go in guns blazing on this, TAHITI. It's a political calculation as much as a security one."

    "Snowden gave me some of the poop on that," Gregg said. "But how far does it go? How real is this 'Fifth Column'?"

    "It's a real thing," HOODIE answered. "We have more windows into the CSA high command than we ever had, its worth the trade off of curtailing some ops in the CSA and working more with people like Mama Angela."

    "I met her once, when I was in country," Gregg said. "From the look of things, they've come a long way."

    "The whole movement has," HOODIE said. "What the RevGens have managed to do has leveled the playing field, the problem the more level the playing field."

    "The more desperate the being leveled against becomes."

    "Exactly TAHITI."

    "Sir, I'd like to get some more people in country working with the DLF. Small, quite, capable teams to assist them."

    "I figured you'd say that," HOODIE say that. "We need a team inside for the mission we need to run in the next three weeks."

    "Three weeks?" TAHITI said. "Not much lead time."

    "If they are placing nukes on the ground there, we have to stop that threat. In a weird way we have to save the Confederates from themselves. We have to quietly remove that threat before the Cairns Conventions talks next month."

    "Remove it, but not expose it?" Gregg said.

    "I'm sure this paradox was in a textbook or two at Harvard. It's politics, and there's a lot of eyes watching in Maine, out west...and here."

    HOODIE looked out the window, "That's the thing about 'coalition' it's only a matter of time until the thieves fall out, and this mess in Switzerland didn't help."

    "The Kennedy kid who's the envoy over there. The gas attack.. Who did it?"

    HOODIE looked hard at Dr. Gregg, "Some offshoot of the Freedom Party. Swiss police and GSG-9's been targeting some South Germans who have been forming a cell up that way for months."

    " EXCEL is in position?"

    "His people are there, along with the Portugal mission."

    "Sir, the world is gonna change massively in the next few weeks. North America alone could see two new governments, and new legislature made up of people who weren't even consider people 2 years ago."

    "Change can be a dangerous thing, General Gregg."

    "At least one thing is secure," Gregg retorted. "The Red Sox in a World Series."

    "Four straight years," HOODIE said dryly. "I think it's becoming a habit."

    Pennywise -- Thursday October 26, 2017
  • CONFEDERATE SAILOR.
    YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.
    WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE.
    WE DON'T WANT YOU OR YOUR PUPPET LEPAGE.

    YOU BROUGHT YOUR SHIPS HERE. YOU'LL BRING YOUR NUKES HERE.

    KNOW THIS. YOU WILL NOT LEAVE HERE ALIVE.

    YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!

    An abandoned building near Bangor High School -- Bangor, Maine Republic -- 6:10am Eastern Daylight Time -- Thursday October 26, 2017

    Curfew ended 10 minutes ago, and an awkward young lad in a Bangor High letter jacket left for school.

    School has changed now, thanks to LePage...and his new police.

    New rules. New dictates. A "morals" crackdown.

    The young lad, and many like him chafed under the new rules.

    Most kept their head down. He remembered what one of his classmates said, "At least they'll let us play football."

    He was on the team. A pass-catcher for a quarterback with a good arm and considered morally straight.

    As long as he was close to the team, he was okay.

    He felt for his true friends. They were catching hell.

    Even though he was an athlete, he hung largely with the outcasts. The freaks.

    He with the anime in his collection. The BartLiz and Sailor Moon graphic novels.

    The tattoo of his favorite character from "Girls And Turbines" on his arm.

    The thought of someone he adored "detained" because he stood up for himself.

    The anger toward his father.

    He heard a voice as he entered the abandoned building.

    "What brings you here? Do you hear the fight song, Georgie?"

    "We don't get many letter jackets here."

    "I want to help."

    "What makes you think we need it?"

    "I saw the call...On the PirateNet."

    "Why?"

    "I want justice."

    "Everyone says that."

    "I'm willing to stand up..."

    "Are you willing to be struck down?"

    "I'm willing strike people down."

    "We know you. Your dad is one of them."

    "My dad is a hard target now."

    "Why?"

    "He had my boyfriend taken away."

    "Emotion can be a problem with what we do."

    "If it gets me mine back...."

    "Define 'mine'"

    "I want my freedom. I want my boyfriend. I want my Maine."

    "Do you? We'll see. Go to school. We will contact you."

    "Who are you?"

    "Look for the organ music...I am Pennywise...Be ready to dance."

    Trick or Treat -- Monday October 30, 2017
  • Blaine House -- Residence of the President of the Maine Independent Republic -- Augusta -- 11:00am Eastern Daylight Time -- Monday October 30, 2017
    PENNYWISE.jpg


    Paul LePage looked at the airwork and sneered. "I'll float too," he said. "What that hell does that mean."

    His liason from the State Police, what Mainers are dubbing the "New Police". Its a phrase from one of the Stephen King's novels. The one about the killer clown?

    LePage was smoldering, trying to control his anger. "These people, placing this poster everywhere. Causing panic. That King is behind this."

    CSS Colonel William Barton, sitting in a chair, commented. "Mister President, your police and my people or coordinating on this effort, but I'd suggest just take it in stride. We've seen this before and much worse than what you have here."

    "Colonel Barton," LePage answer stoically. "This crap is fueling the violence we are seeing. You are here to help put a stop to it. I don't think you see the gravity of what is happening."

    Barton smiled. "President LePage, I tell you respectfully that I'm not a rookie here. Louisville makes this place look like a Sunday picnic, and I managed to pacify it. The one thing I will not do is overreact to every little provocation. Posters from a storybook?"

    CS Navy Admiral Dale Krieger, the head of the CONFEDATLCOM, now based in Maine countered, "Colonel, I can understand the President's point here, and President Gingrich and Chairman Duke would agree that we have to consider an enhanced posture."

    "Admiral Krieger, we have done so." Barton answered. "We have had sweeps. We've arrested and detained hundred of antisocials, and we continue to do so. But, ANYTHING we do will be efficient and quiet. We are not going to run through Maine like a bull in a china shop."

    Barton stood up and paced the room. "Our goal should be first and foremost to win hearts and minds. Remember, Mr. President, your people elected you to keep the peace and bring a Godly posture to these shores. You believe in that, right?"

    LePage said. "Yes, but..."

    Barton interrupted. "Mister President, I'm on your side. Let's continue to do that work. A crackdown on my part at this time strengthens the antisocials."

    "Everyone, we have some important decision at levels higher than mine to consider. A crackdown here, would harm those aims. So for now, we are going to maintain a quiet but firm handle on this situation. I don't want to use more force than we need to."

    Admiral Krieger objected. "A soft-spft approach puts my sailors and this naval group at risk."

    "Admiral," Barton said. "You expect that whenever we go into a port of call. Whats the difference here? The second you brought that big-ass carrier here, you know what the score would be. Admiral, the job of the CSS is in part making sure your ass is covered. I will do that job, but understand, this was going with the territory."

    DOSSIER MAINE RESISTANCE.jpg


    Barton and his aides put up a group of pictures on a main screen in the office.

    "Our main focus as CSS in this country are these objectives," Barton said. "Infiltrating militia groups and protest groups, and capturing or eliminating leadership."

    "Your picture of Stephen King is a bit outdated," the commissioner of the State Police said.

    Barton answered calmly, "That picture was taken in the CSA."

    "The CSA?"

    "Yes," Barton said. "Mr. King is a wanted man in my country. In his younger days he was part of a group based here who agitated in nation, violated our laws and formented violence, in the guise of 'human rights'

    Barton pointed the next photo, "We have reason to believe that a number of protest and militia group here are receiving military advisors and arms directly from those SCLC malcontents in Havana. The woman in the next photo is a go-between."

    LePage looked at the black woman with high contempt. "I wish we had gulags in Maine, so I could throw her in one."

    The Maine President hated Shay Stewart-Boulay, t he opposition leader, now an underground outlaw. Trust me, the feeling was mutual.

    "We have been effortting her capture for more than a year," the state police commissioner said. "Border points. Airports. Roads. Everywhere. She has been in and out the country often."

    Barton smirk confidently, "Mister commissioner, this is why my people are your teammates, sir. There is no place that woman can go that we can't find her. The same with Mister King.

    "And the same with anyone who seeks to harm what we are trying to build."

    ANNA KENDRICK ON MAINE 2.jpg


    "We will need contingencies for tomorrow," the State Police commissioner chimed in. "Halloween. A perfect day for some type of action."

    "I've already called for shutting down train traffic to New Hampshire and increased checkpoints on the highways," LePage said. "I'm sure at least a few will try to still get south for the celebrations in that Salem place."

    "Antisocials could be out in force," LePage chief of staff said.

    "That wouldn't be a bad plan," Barton said. "But at the same time, if people want their pagan ritual, I'm taking more of a hands off approach in keeping with the foreign ministry edicts to us. Use the gathering law, but otherwise, no overt signs of official force. Lets keep Maine out of the headlines right now, shall we?"

    after the meeting....

    Admiral Krieger walked out of the Presidential mansion in a huff.

    "What the hell are you doing?" He said sternly. "You have a job to do!"

    "Admiral, i'm doing my job," Barton said calmly.

    "Really?" He asked dubiously. "It just seems the CSS is standing back and doing nothing."

    "I find we do our job best when people like you think we aren't" Barton said.

    "Oh, will enlighten me, Colonel," he said in a huff, "Because I see my people being targets and that wont stand, and I'm sure Chairman Duke wont stand for it."

    Barton smirked at the Admiral. "Krieger is it?" Barton feigned not knowing the CINC-COMFEDATLCOM's name. "You respectfully have no idea what the inning and score is do you, and figure a baseball fan like yourself would know that. Right now, the CSA is currying some goodwill. We are heading to a worldwide summit were the goal is looking like the good guys. Do you know what that means?"

    "So you are a politician?"

    "Given the situation, yes I am. And the situation calls for restraint, Admiral. That's one reason why Alaska is a SNAFU right now!"

    Barton looked at the Admiral eye-to-eye. "A crackdown more than we already have put you, your sailor and that beautiful ship you have in more jeopardy. So if you don't mind, stop the Monday morning quarterback bullshit about my function here."

    "Do you job Admiral," Barton admonished. "Given what you face to our immediate south, you have more than enough to keep you busy."

    As Barton heading for his car, he noticed.....On a tree. On a fence. Taped to a sidewalk...


    He noticed... up close....

    "This is Radio Free Dirigo...and I'm here to tell you the truth...

    Can you hear the Circus, Mr. President....Can your new police? Can that occupying force

    that has come to our country? Can you smell the popcorn? Can you hear the organ music.

    Can you dance Mr. LePage. Are are one of the 'Good Ones' Mr. LePage?

    How about you, Overseer? The military man. The Confederate Navy. Their ugly inhuman

    secret police? Playing the organ grinder and forcing Mainers to dance for their amusement.

    WE. SHALL. NOT. DANCE. YOU'LL. FLOAT. TOO.

    This is Radio Free Dirigo.....and this is the truth."

    The Mounties -- and what happened in Quebec
  • The tradition lives across the "Canadian Diasphora"

    Atlantic Maritime State -- The Atlantic Maritime Mounted Police is the national police
    Quebec -- Michaelle Jean made a campaign pledge to bring back the horses are part of their national police force.

    Ontario -- The Royal Ontario Mounted Police are the closest to the old RCMP. Even down to the uniforms. They are bolstered by a PM who is as much a Canadian Confederalist as he is proud of Ontario.

    Saskatchewan-Manitoba (now part of the GPUR)-- Kept their detachments intact when they were a nation, now the mounted police are a part of the GPUR Parks Police (in Churchill they act as a coast guard sort of body protecting the new commercial and soon to be naval defense docks there)

    Alberta/NWT/Yukon (now part of the RMR) -- The RMR as part of the union agreement to bring in the former provinces, promised to reform to the RCMP in to the RMMP.

    British Columbia (now part of the RGC) -- Mounties became "Chips" here, as the California Highway Patrol Mounted Forces. The California Highway Patrol or the national police force of the RGC.

    Oh by the way... QUEBEC ELECTIONS (results courtesy of RDQ)
    179 seats -- 89 needed for majority

    Liberal-Labour Party -- 61 Seats
    Justin Trudeau lost 6 seats but just hung on for the most, but to form a government he has some horse-trading to do, and so hard decisions to make because what happened down the ballot.
    Trudeau hangs on.jpg


    Quebec Social Unity -- 59 Seats
    Michaelle Jean nearly pulled off a miracle. A whopping 19 seat gain and a popular vote win in Montreal as spurred Social Unity and they may yet form a government, as a lead or as a strong senior partner.
    Michaelle JeaN celebrates.jpg


    Quebec Conservative -- 25 Seats
    The slump from 2012 continues as the hard turn right from the Charest era cost another 15 seats, and there was a report in Montreal Gazette this morning of an internal memo calling for a "Stop Black Jean" movement. Have "Les Bleus Conservateurs" thrown in with the pro-LePage white nationalists?
    Bermier Conservateur.jpg


    Parti Quebecois -- 13 Seats
    The "Old School" nationalists went old school with a leader, but new school in their post-election approach. Insulted by what he called "the Ugly Nazis" of the far right, Gil Duceppe says he'll back Social Unity's claim to form a government.
    duceppe.jpg


    Oka First Nations Movement -- 11 Seats
    The "Oka Party" took away some seats in what RDQ commentators called "Battle St. Lawrence" between the Liberals and Social Unity. First nations leader Serge Simon has stated he will join any coalition Social Unity supports. This party received logistical and strategic assistance from GPUR indigenous campaign wunderkind Kit Whitlow's consulting firm.
    serge simon.jpg


    Quebec Solidare Nationale -- 10 Seats
    A concertation of Quebec Solidare, Action Democratique and the Front Nationale, this far-right party has been rumored to be working to get key Conservative and Liberal forces to block what they call "The sell out of Quebec to Havana"
    One thing that isn't a rumor. Their party leader has openly affirmed his support for Maine's government, calling himself, "Quebec's Paul LePage".

    I TOLD YOU THE GROUND WOULD BE FERTILE HERE. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH BARTON.
    BARTON IS PREPARED AND EXCITED OF THE POSSIBILITY. MERCI! YOU HAVE DONE WELL, AND YOU WILL GET MORE RESOURCES MOVING FORWARD

    England Didn't Expect -- Monday November 20, 2017
  • --- We have BREAKING News from the BBC. Prime Minister Portillo speaking from 10 Downing on the news from India....

    Portillo on India 11202017.jpg


    "Mister Prime Minister, The Indian PM is calling for a foreign military pullout..."

    "Yes, he has however, that also runs into certain matters of Commonwealth defence agreement that must be discussed. And I aim to discuss them with Prime Minister Kejriwal today."

    "Are you prepared to ignore that call, Mister Prime Minister.."

    "Absolutely NOT. It is too early to even speculate about such a decision. First, I want to get the full parameters of what is being asked for. I will say, based on my initial understanding, much will depend on what happens to the Confederate presence in India, because our the coalition nature of the ruling government, we find ourselves rubbing elbows with the CSA. If the CSA leave. We shall do the same during this coming election period. But if they do not, we have no other option but to defend the Commonwealth of which India is a kith and kin.."

    IAIN, CALL THE AMBASSADOR...I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE BLOODY CRICKET, GET HIS ARSE TO 10 DOWNING....NOW!

    Je Me Souviens -- Monday November 20, 2017
  • Hotel W Montreal -- Montreal, Quebec -- 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time -- Monday November 20, 2017

    The lights of Montreal beamed brilliantly through the drizzle of the night. The brilliance reflecting on the puddles of the sidewalk.

    They seemed to put the glitter in the eyes of well-dressed, well-coiffed blonde striding gracefully and purposefully up the Rue-Saint Antoine. Her red trench coat flowing effortlessly in the slight breeze. Each click-clack of her heels purposeful.

    She was holding a briefcase. Looking just another financial wonk in one of the North America's premier financial cities.

    But underneath her calm air of Gallic charm were grit, guile and secrets.



    She entered the posh hotel in a confident manner. The contacts awaiting nearly missed her. She blended into the upscale vibe of the place. Not quite the agent they thought, or where used to.

    "Excuse me, madame. Are you aware of the words."

    "There are twenty. Good evening."

    "Follow us, please."

    They headed past the lobby, down past the trendy nightspot, filled with young capitalist warriors watching the Alouettes-Argonauts gridiron match. "These North Americans and their strange game," she thought. "I saw too much that in university down there."

    She was well-versed in North America, or at least a particular version of thought on the continent. Her gait and style suggested she came from Europe. She was a child of those seeking a return of the burgeoning nationalistic Europe of the 1930s. A belief that found a rugged kinship across the Atlantic.


    Her grandfather embraced that kinship in the 1970, when he, the founder of a fledging nationalist organization, had an opportunity to meet a foreign minister named Jesse Helms at a conference. They two struck a friendship to became beacon for their ambitious...beginning with Helms rising to the presidency of the Confederate States in 1977.

    Seeking to export what Jesse Helms called, "Confederate moral and spiritual internationalism in a sinful world," Helms extended the support of the CSA, and its state security apparatus, to all groups that shared their views.

    The ambitious man certainly shared the views from his perch. Railing against what he called, "The economic blashphemy and social chaos against our national birthright, our nation, and our race."

    The CSA spent the 1970s and 1980s building a white fortress in Europe. Britain, France, Germany, Italy, into the central midlands. Pro-Atlanta parties and organization grew in stature, even as the CSA was also building bridges to the IRNA and even to Soviet Russia. The tactical and spiritual underpinnings of what we see today.

    The young lady walking with purpose was a grandchild of that kinship. A protege of the ambition. Raised in the movement back home, educated in its facets at home and across the Atlantic. She attended finishing school away from the ponce and fancy of Europe, and deep within the bowels of this truth faith. Six years ago she received two advanced degree at Bob Jones University, and then accepted her commission into the high church of this faith.

    L'Agence de Sécurité de l'État Confédéré assurera l'existence de notre peuple et un avenir sûr pour les enfants blancs pieux

    The venue was a private suite floor above the fun and whimsy of Montreal's young, monied and climbing. The room was soundproof, bug-swept, and ready for business.

    The person out front for the meeting party was man not much older than herself. Like her he was looked more like he was cutting a business deal than leading a political resistance.

    "Madame...At last we come together...I haven't had the pleasure of your name."

    "For the purposes of this meeting, I am Nicole," she said flatly. "Let it be known that my superiors are watching. Any subterfuge by you will be unwise. It could prove fatal."

    Some in the room where taken aback. She sensed it. The dossier on this people has stated this: THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE LARGER CAUSE, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO TRULY ENGAGE IN THE FINER POLITICS OF GODLY SPIRITUAL PURITY AND RENEWAL THAT WE ARE SEEKING. THEY WILL NEED A LOT OF EDUCATION AND WORK ON THEIR PRAXIS IN THE LARGER STRUGGLE.

    "Nicole, what you see here, " the man began. "is the high command of our movement. Our new Front de libération du Québec."

    "I see," the woman said. "You do realize that my organization helped fund the last FLQ, or at least elements of it."

    "I am aware," the man said. "But that FLQ didn't hold the same principles that ours will."

    A second man, wearing clothes more in-tune with old FLQ said. "The principle that we will fight the mongrelization of our people. We will fight against what Trudeau and that....woman, wish to do in coalition."

    She looked at them indifferently. "Yes, you can say the words, but can you act on them?" she thought.

    The leader continued. "We have built links between ourselves, Le Solidare, and with the New Maine National Police forces. We are planning operations with them, to counter what the enemies of our states are doing."

    "What are they doing?" She asked.

    The man showed her photos, documents. Her eye brow raised, "Maybe they aren't so amateurish after all. We'll see."

    "I see your skepticism madame," he intoned with his quebecois accent rising in cadence. "This is why I came bearing gifts by bearing information."

    She looked at home. "Where did you get this?"

    I have connections in the military. Like you I'm come from bloodlines as well.

    "Are you sure you know of that?"

    "Madame, my grandfather taught me, the same way yours taught you."

    She looked at the man again. He was cool. Calculated. She had to give him that. But was he bluffing? Maybe, but she played on.

    "Well, I see we have things we can work with, and we can do business," she said.

    "Yes," he answered. "We can work you people into proximity of the pipelines that are using to aid the black and red bastards in Maine. And at the same time we can do here what your people have done in Maine and Alaska."

    "That is more your affair, monsieur,"

    "Marc-Jean...for now," he said with a hint of responsive arrogance. "Like you Nicole...for the purposes of this meeting. We shall not be too familiar."

    "Anyway, you know and I know, LePage and Palin do not happen without the aid of your organization. We seek to help you secure a beachhead at a place where its needed, and to strengthen our resolve."

    The woman kept the confident mask, but inside she was calculating the pros and cons. "What would be their role?" She thought. "Could they play their role? Could they fit into the principles and the program, they way did back home? The way that the Colombians and Venezuelan are doing?"

    Her thought locked on the man as her walked her through the data he collected. She recalled the dossiers on him as well. "Yes, you might know me, or think you know of me. But I know you are as vain as your grandfather was. It was his reticence, that kept us from broaching a bigger deal. But now, Chairman Duke thinks you can be trusted. Barton has his doubts...as do I... I'll dance with you, but you best stay in step."

    "Monsueir," she said. "I am impressed with the presentation you have given. I will run this forward up the chain of command."

    The man smirk-smiled as her heard this. "Mister Duke is testing us," he thought. "Good. I welcome that, and we'll prove our worth."

    "You do that," he said. "In the meantime, we shall continue to press forward for a free, white Quebec. As it should be."

    to be continued.









     
    INTERMISSION -- FIFA World Cup Scandinavian Union 2018
  • This weekend, the attention of the football world decends on Stockholm for the World Cup Draw this Sunday...

    And its been a furious run to qualify for the World Cup...Lets Review...Who's IN!

    2018 Qualifying Schematic

    1. Host Nation -- Scadinavian Union -- automatic bid.
    2. Defending World Champion --
    Brazil -- their win on home soil in 2014 punched their ticket to 2018

    UEFA (7 automatic berths + 2 wild cards)
    Only the winners of each group will qualify, the best six directly, the next two group winners will play a playoff for the seventh spot with the loser in that playoff gaining one Lucozade Last Chance position. The other UEFA Lucozade Last Chance team will be decided in a 4 team "knockout" tournament.

    Group A
    France
    Iceland
    Netherlands
    Trans-Siberia
    Bulgaria
    Luxembourg

    This was an extremely narrow group with France getting 20 points, the big surprise of Iceland with 19 points and the Netherlands with 19 points as well.

    Group B
    Italy
    Switzerland
    Hungary
    Serbia
    Faeroer-Islands
    Andorra

    Italy qualified, with only Switzerland coming close to being a real contender. Hungary was a real disappointment this time.

    Group C
    Federal Republic of Germany
    Northern-Ireland
    Czech Republic
    Croatia
    Azerbaijan
    San Marino

    The Federal Germans managed a flawless qualification with 10 (sometimes narrow, sometimes overwhelming) victories in 10 matches. Northern-Ireland came in second place. Croatia was a major disappointment.

    Group D
    Wales
    Portugal
    Slovakia
    Ireland
    Montenegro
    Georgia

    Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese can only weep as Wales snatches this qualification!
    But getting Cristiano to play down the stretch was huge, given his stance on boycotting the national team because of the political situation in the country. Ronaldo has been active in the runup the next weeks elections in Portugal.

    Group E
    South-German Union
    Poland
    Turkey
    Romania
    Armenia
    Kazakhstan

    Group E was definitely among the very competitive death-groups. The South-Germans won the qualification with Poland and Turkey fighting hard for their chances. On the last match in Vienna, Southern-Germany had to win....

    Group F (with 7 Teams)
    East-German Republic
    England
    Soviet Union
    Scotland
    Slovenia
    Vojvodina
    Malta

    Group F turned out to be extremely intense with only the last matches bringing the decision. England had it in its hands to defeat the Soviets in Moscow, but lost 2-1. Still, if the Vojvodina had beaten East-Germany, England would yet have made it to the world cup, however; the Prussians left nothing to be desired and won 4-1 against the small balkan nation in Breslau.

    Group G (with 7 Teams)
    Iberia
    Denmark
    Macedonia
    Albania
    Kosovo
    Eastern Jewish Republic
    Lichtenstein

    Now that was extremely close. Denmark and Iberia ended up both with 33 points in this group. However, Iberia shot more goals in comparison. Albania and Macedonia had their neighbourhood duels. The Eastern Jews, Kosovars and Liechtenstein were no match for the others.

    Group H (with 7 Teams)
    Belgium
    Bosnia-Hercegovina
    Greece
    Ukraine
    Cyprus
    Moldova
    Gibraltar

    Belgium dominated the final group, although Bosnia-Hercegovina was well within reach of the qualification. Ukraine and Greece stumbled over the amibitions. Cyprus, Moldova and Gibraltar mainly delivered points.

    QUALIFIED VIA GROUP PLAY

    Italy, FR Germany, Wales, East Germany, Iberia, Belgium

    EuropCar Do Or Die Playoff Match
    France 2 Southern Germany 1 -- Michael Jackson Jr., the young Chelsea star chose to cap for France during the qualifiers and scored one and assist one to beat "Team Habsburg" in Vienna.

    EuropCar Do Or Die Tournament

    Iceland, Denmark, England, Bosnia-Herzegovina

    Iceland vs. England -- Cinderella Iceland stunned England on Penalties to advance

    Denmark vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina -- On the prior Sunday, "The" Zlatan was kicking four field goals in a Minnesota Vikings win that propelled them toward the PFA playoffs. Three days later, he was setting up two goals in a 3-1 win in Sarajevo...setting up a climatic playoff match the next week in Reyjavik.

    Iceland vs. Bosnia -- Despite a key goal by Zlatan to tie the game in 80th minute, Jón Daði. field back with shot of his own to lift Iceland into the Lucozade Playoffs. Daði and Zlatan are friends when not on the pitch. Daði was the leading scorer for GP-AFL 1 side FC 3M last season and is currently plying for the Plansian side this season.

    CONMEBOL (5 automatic bids + 2 Wild Cards)

    Argentina -- Mr. Messi and company rallied to win the table with 5 straight wins to overtake COLOMBIA and CHILE.

    surprising EQUADOR and URUGUAY took the automatic positions.

    Bolivia and Peru hung around the gain the Wild Card spots.

    CONCACAF (5 automatic bids + 2 Wild Cards)

    The top of the table feature one of the odds-on contenders for Scandinavia 2018 and the darlings from 2014, and they played two brilliant matches down the stretch drive of qualifying.

    The Great Plains United Republic took the table on goals aggregate after splitting with the Republic of Greater California. The RGC, led by a galaxy of starpower with Lester Hayes Jr. (Crystal Palace) Robbie Rogers (Los Angeles Galaxy), and longtime stalwart Landon Donovan (electrifying France with PSG), are considered a team that will give a lot of sides a run for their money, and could finally elevate team boss Cobi Jones to a high-level position after the Cup.

    The Lone Star Republic of Texas-Louisiana made up for disappointment four years ago with a strong drive to make the Cup. Clint Dempsey, patched up difference with LSR manager Roberto Hernandez to score or assist in 6 straight games to lead the Lone Stars

    Mexico brought a "youth movement" to qualifying and after a rough start it bore fruit for El Tri in key wins over the GPUR and the IRNA, and it kept pursuers like Utah, Ontatio and Haiti at bay for the final automatic transfers.

    Costa Rica got the return they were looking for from success Under-19 and Under-23 teams in recent years with a young attack-counter style that outpaced Haiti and Ontario for the last automatic transfer.

    The "civil war" on the IRNA team which led to Jozy Altidore taking his allegiance switch to Haiti (parents born in Haiti), sunk the IRNA, and helped lift Haiti to their first Wild Card chance in their first appearance in the CONCACAF Ocho.

    GO GO GO! Ontario! Ontario is a playoff away from being the first former Canadian nation to make the World Cup.

    AAFC (4 automatic bids + 2 wild cards)

    The usual suspects took their places in Asia-Oceania. Japan, ANZC, Korea, and Palestinian Republic took their places.

    But the wild cards are surprises, both close to gaining a World Cup debut.
    Vietnam could have their best chance since missing qualifying by 1 game in 1986 and another plucky cinderella in Kurdistan who stunned the Palestinians 2-0 in Haifa to get that last spot.

    CAF (4 automatic bids + 2 wild cards)

    The African qualifying tournament was influence greatly by the political situation on the continent. The Nigerian and Congolese teams both were disqualified due to a political and competitive issues over the divorces pending in the two countries.

    With that in mind, Africa 8-team final round saw some debutant nations finding a path to the Scandinavian Union.

    South Africa -- Steve Nash retired from active competition in 2015...and was named as the team head man 6 months later. Skeptic guffawed the choice, but Nash, one of the greats of general, shows strategic chops in leading the Bafana Bafana to the top of the qualifying table.

    Algeria -- Team manager Zinedine Zidane says "We're are going to be the GPUR of 2018."


    Ethiopia -- No playoff needed in 2017. The Walias are going through

    Libya -- "Muommar's Monsters" and gadly maestro Bora Multinovic broke through with 4 straight wins to secure the berth.

    CAF WILD CARDS: Angola, Mozambique -- Two team who play the quick-strike attacking style of Portugal. Players to watch: Jacinto Dala (Angola) -- Soccer fans in North America know this guy two-time all alliance at Howard Freedom University (and leading scorer on their Alliance College Cup Champion team in 2015), and now among the snappy scorers for the MLS's New York Cosmos.

    Clésio Baúque (Mozambique) -- A heady midfielder who has a nose for the goal, and he's as smart off the field as he is on it. When he not scoring for the AFL-GP1's FC Jet 20, he's working on a master degree at Omaha University.


    Lucozade Last Change Playoff Aggregates


    Ontario vs. France -- France was far and away the best team in the Last Chance round and the showed it defeated Ontario 3-1, and 4-2 to move on.

    Mozambique vs. Bolivia -- African football continues to find footing as Mozambique gave Bolivia all it wanted forging two draws, but Bolivia advanced on road goals thanks to a 3-3 wild one in Mozambique soil.

    Kurdistan vs. Haiti -- The Kurdish dream run into a nightmare named Jozy Altidore who scored 3 goals and set up 4 others as Haiti's offense ran and attacked their way to the World Cup Final.

    Iceland vs. Vietnam -- The best two matches of the Last Chance round, and perhaps two of the best qualifying matches in World Cup history. Both went into extra time, both decided with goals with a breathe of the whistle...both match going to Iceland who won 2-1 in Saigon and 3-2 in Reyjavik.

    Peru vs. Angola -- Dala danced through Peru as the Angolans advanced in a surprising sweep.

    UCSN SportsChannel North America will have full coverage of the draw LIVE from Stockholm, Sunday morning at 10 eastern...with a special edition of SportsCenter
